I did some fun quick math. ARod at/ near his career pace should have over 840 homers. Will he be the one to unseat Bonds (eventual champ) someday? It sure seems like it, but projecting is very unreliable, what is your hunch? Howard (could hit 830+ at his insane pace) Pujols (projects to close to 900!) Health can mess all this up, cause if you fill in Griffey's lost stats, he already has over 700 having just turned 37.

Albert Pujols will be the HR king. A-Rod will achieve the record, but AP will top it a few years later. Pujols is a team player, but he also knows how to win a game if his teammates cant get the job done. He is avg 40+ HR every season, so there is a great chance of exceeding 900 HR for his career. He is also playin the the Cardinals new stadium which seems to be a hitters ballpark, so his stats will just increase more now than what they have been in the past.

A-Rod has a good chance of surpassing the 800 HR mark. Also Andruw Jones has been racking up numbers in such a way that if he's healthy he could hit over 700 HR. No one seems to notice that. Ryan Howard? It's too soon to even start guessing.
I would love however, to see Miguel Cabrera at the top of the HR hitters. He's only 23 and now's when we'll start counting his homers.

Here's something you have to throw into your calculations, homeruns usually drop off as you get older, in his last few seasons Henry "Hank" Aaron was only hitting 20-30 homeruns. Barry is hitting more as he gets older, which is either absolutely amazing or absolutely unnatural. In any case though it will take an amazing player to beat out Bonds; A-Rod and Pujols are candidates but it will required a perfect storm of events and the best health you can imagine.

Pujols may get there, but he's not just a home run hitter, he also has great defense and isn't afraid to bunt if necessary. He also steals bases occasionally. His hamstring has been sore, but I'm not sure if it's permanent. He may break the record.
As a fellow Missourian, I wish the best to Ryan Howard and he may break it also.
A-Rod I don't know much about. As we've seen this year, anything is possible.

I feel A-Rod will have the record, pending Ryan Howards progression.
Pujols is my favorite player in the majors, but I do not feel he is a guy capable of getting 50 home runs consistently, more like 42-46...something Ryan Howard has already done and surpassed in his 2nd year, and A-Rod is already far up there in the rankings and is still young

Well in the way that Alex Rodriguez is going can easily make it pass Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds. A-Rod has been kind of healthy for the pass years so he has the best shot to be the homerun champion

My guess would be A-rod will break it then Pujols will break it, depending on if they stay healthy. You forget Pujols is younger then Howard and is already up on him by over 150. So my guess for 20 years would be Pujols.
